Content

Building on HPS777, this unit is concerned with the development of both a theoretical and practical understanding of evidence based approaches for particular client groups and disorders. After an initial consideration of what is meant by evidence-based therapy, the seminars in the unit will focus on evidence-based psychological therapies for common clinical problems in adulthood such as anxiety, depression eating, personality disorders, substance abuse and schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. In addition, the major therapies employed with children will be covered (psychotherapy, play therapy, CBT) as well as therapy interventions with the elderly. Throughout there will be considerable focus on the development of high level therapy skills through the use of video recordings of therapy sessions, practical exercises, feedback, discussions and role-plays.
